Chapter 1230 The Chen Family
"..."
Huo Du was dumbfounded.
Huo Guangtai hadn't even shown this much respect to Chen Xuan just now. How could he have changed like this after fainting for a while?
He still couldn't believe it and looked at Heavenly Master Zhang. "Heavenly Master Zhang, you must have saved me, right?"
Heavenly Master Zhang felt embarrassed but truthfully replied, "To be honest, it was Mr. Chen who saved you. It has nothing to do with me."
He had already lost enough face, so how could he dare to steal Chen Xuan's credit? Moreover, Chen Xuan possessed such formidable strength.
Upon hearing this, Huo Du was completely stunned, his eyes trembling as he looked at Chen Xuan.
"Hurry up and thank Mr. Chen..."
Huo Du opened his mouth to speak, but Chen Xuan waved his hand. "No need for thanks, I'm not doing it for his sake."
Chen Xuan looked at Huo Guangtai again and said, "Huo Guangtai, I have only temporarily resolved the Huo family's crisis. I cannot completely solve the Huo family's troubles yet."
"Then what should we do next?" Huo Guangtai asked nervously.
Obviously, he was afraid.
But Chen Xuan said, "It's alright. This Wuji Bixie Talisman can last for seven days, guaranteeing the Huo family's safety. Within seven days, I will find a way to solve this big problem."
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen," Huo Guangtai said quickly.
Chen Xuan nodded, turned, and left.
Huo Du still didn't believe it and said to Heavenly Master Zhang, "Heavenly Master Zhang, this guy must be bluffing. Don't worry, our Huo family still trusts you more!"
Hearing this, Heavenly Master Zhang's breath hitched, and he wished he could slap Huo Du across the face.
He took a breath, controlled his emotions, and said to Huo Du in a deep voice, "Young Master Huo, I bid you farewell!"
With that, he flicked his sleeve and left!
Huo Du was stunned and scratched his head. Why did Heavenly Master Zhang not seem to like his fawning?
At that moment!
"Hahaha, it seems the Huo family has only hired trash,"
Before the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Lei Gong Pavilion's top floor, a middle-aged man in a golden Taoist robe stood with his hands behind his back, gazing afar in the direction of Jiang Shang Ming Yue.
From his line of sight, although he couldn't see Jiang Shang Ming Yue, he could see through his Heavenly Eye that surging malevolent energy was flowing into Jiang Shang Ming Yue along the river. Above Jiang Shang Ming Yue, malevolent energy pressed down, a sign of impending disaster.
After speaking, he looked at a portly middle-aged man in a suit and tie standing behind him and smiled, "Congratulations, congratulations! From now on, in the Kyoto catering industry, the Lei family will have no rivals!"
This middle-aged man in the golden Taoist robe was called Master Gu, a grandmaster of Feng Shui from the Ghost Valley lineage.
He was renowned in the Kyoto Feng Shui circle. Years ago, he had formed a connection with the Lei family. When the Lei family faced a crisis, they invited Master Gu to help them escape.
The portly middle-aged man was the current head of the Lei family, Lei Xiongfei!
"Master Gu, what is there to congratulate?" Lei Xiongfei asked with a frown.
Master Gu smiled and explained, "The Feng Shui master hired by the Huo family is a useless person. Even now, they are setting up a wealth-gathering Feng Shui array, but all the wealth luck absorbed is accompanied by misfortune and malevolent energy. This will only make the Huo family suffer even more."
"This is truly a cause for great celebration, it's wonderful!"
When Lei Xiongfei heard this, he exclaimed excitedly, "Master Gu, from now on, our Lei family is willing to serve you. If you tell me, Lei Xiongfei, to go east, I will never go west!"
Master Gu looked at Lei Xiongfei with pride and nodded slightly. "Patriarch Lei, you are too kind. We are merely helping each other."
Lei Xiongfei was considered a top tycoon in the Kyoto catering industry, but he showed a joyful expression upon hearing this.
He knew the powerful backing of Master Gu. If he could curry favor with Master Gu, he might have a chance to approach the power of the top families in Kyoto, such as the Nine Gates.
But at that moment, Master Gu's expression changed drastically. He looked into the distance and exclaimed in disbelief, "How could this be? How could this be?"
He saw that the surging malevolent energy heading towards the Huo family's Jiang Shang Ming Yue encountered a great barrier.
"Master Gu, what happened?" Lei Xiongfei asked urgently.
"The Huo family has hired a master who is blocking the surging malevolent energy," Master Gu said in a deep voice.
"Wh-what should we do?" Lei Xiongfei was flustered.
Master Gu said calmly, "It's alright, it's alright. This fellow has only temporarily blocked the malevolent energy. He hasn't broken my formation yet."
Lei Xiongfei was slightly relieved. "Then how should we deal with it?"
"Go, have someone investigate who exactly the Kyoto Huo family has invited!" Master Gu said coldly.
"I'll have someone investigate immediately!" Lei Xiongfei turned and left, sending someone to investigate the Huo family's situation.
As for Master Gu, he stared in the direction of Jiang Shang Ming Yue, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
Suddenly, he seemed to have seen a ghost, his face filled with horror. He swayed unsteadily, breaking out in a cold sweat, and slowly uttered a few words, "The Wuji Bixie Talisman of the Chen family? Are members of the Chen family still alive?"
At this moment, Chen Xuan arrived on the main road, preparing to hail a taxi to leave. But suddenly, a voice called out, "Mr. Chen, please wait!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan stopped and turned to see Boss Zhao, the man with the poker face, standing in front of him. He was immediately surprised.
Considering that Boss Zhao had just said he was leaving, he hadn't expected to see him here. Had Boss Zhao been waiting for him all along?
He smiled faintly. "Boss Zhao? What do you need from me?"
"Mr. Chen, I advise you not to interfere in this matter anymore," Boss Zhao said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?" Chen Xuan asked doubtfully.
Boss Zhao explained, "The person who attacked is not only powerful but also has enormous backing. He is definitely not someone you can contend with. Moreover, your identity is not suitable for you to reveal yourself."
"Oh? You waited here for me just to warn me?"
Chen Xuan seemed to understand Boss Zhao's meaning. He looked at Boss Zhao and said faintly, "I don't think we are very familiar, why are you reminding me?"
Boss Zhao's face was somber. Facing Chen Xuan's inquiry, there was no trace of emotion.
He opened his mouth and said, "I am reminding you because you are young and possess good Feng Shui and mystic arts skills. Whether you choose to listen is up to you."
"However, I must remind you again, do not provoke the person behind the Lei family lightly, and do not use the Chen family's Feng Shui and mystic arts lightly, otherwise, it will only bring you utter destruction."
"Bring me utter destruction? Heh heh..." Chen Xuan shook his head.
"I hope you will take my words to heart."
With that, Boss Zhao turned and left. After walking away, he said excitedly, "He... is he really a member of the Chen family? Has this old servant finally waited for this day?"
Boss Zhao showed a very complex expression.
Excitement, melancholy, nostalgia, and deep worry...
Soon, Chen Xuan returned to the Su family in Kyoto. The Su family in Kyoto was still bustling with activity. The entire family was filled with a different atmosphere due to the matter of the successor candidate list.
The Vermilion Bird lineage, on the other hand, seemed oblivious, continuing to go about their own business.
